      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      I hired this company to move from one house to another about 9 miles away. The movers were kind and courteous but caused a significant amount of damage to my new home. They advised that a large piece of furniture would be difficult to get up the stairs but they would stop and advise me if they could not successfully get the furniture up the stairs. They asked that I sign a waiver for any small damages that *** occur, which I did. What I did not expect was that the crew forced the furniture into the staircase wall and tore a hole into the wall up the length of the staircase. Instead of stopping at the first sign of damage, they chose to destroy the staircase wall instead. When I shared the information with the corporate office, the first person said they were going to hire a contractor to fix the issue. The next day, the ** responded saying they had no liability whatsoever and that I was on my own to pay for the damages. It's unbelievable that they are not willing to take any responsibility for the amount of damage done to my home when the crew said they would stop the move and advise me if they could not successfully get the furniture upstairs. They did not advise me and instead caused more damage to the wall than what I paid for the move.

      Buyer beware. They will quote you a price and then change it after they get your "deposit". There are more honest people out there to move your stuff. I needed 3 heavy items moved up stairs and they gave me their hourly quote. I told them that the job would only take about 20 minutes and that one hour was plenty of time. They took my money and then decided to inform me that there is a time minimum that they must charge. When I opened my email with the invoice, I immediately cancelled the crew. They barely had time to get in their truck, much less to come to my location. They did have time, however, to charge my card for their time on the phone. Most expensive phone call ever. I recommend using someone else.

      *****************, the picture you are painting here is simply untrue. All of our calls are on recorded lines. We have listened to the booking calls and have irrefutable proof that what your claiming here is false. Stating that we "took your money THEN decided to inform you of the time minimum" would indicate some sort of bait and switch tactic was employed, so let's clear up the chronology and stick to facts. We are transparent with our pricing. The hourly rate was stated, you agreed. Our 3 hour minimum policy was explained to you in detail prior to the booking fee ever being mentioned, you agreed. It was clearly stated that the booking fee was non-refundable; only transferable in the event of a rescheduling with 48+ hours notice. All these details were clearly discussed, nothing hidden, no shady tactics employed. 

       

      We would be happy to provide you with the audio file recordings of the calls.
